Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 10, 1914.

Application filed April 3, 1914. Serial No. 829,261.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD VAITH, a citizenof the United States, residing at Brocket, in the county of Ramsey andState of North Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Pole-Tips; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and exact description of the in vention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters andfigures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in pole tips andcomprises a simple and eflicient device of this nature having variousdetails of construction, combinations and arrangements of parts whichwill be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawingsand then specifically defined in the appended claim.

I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure l is a side elevation of a pole tip made in accordance with myinvention. Fig. 2 is an end view. Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view online 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of a modified form of thedevice, and Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view of the modified form.

In Fig. 1 of the drawings, which is the preferred form of the device,the pole tip is designated by letter T which has a bar of iron 'I" bentupon itself and fastened to the pole and is provided with an upwardlybent part T slotted as at T for the reception of the shank portion R ofthe hook R, which shank portion is bent at an angle at R and passesthrough a slot S formed in said bar, and a crosspiece S upon said angledend serves as a means for retaining said angled end in pivotal relationwith said slot. A pin, designated by letter W, pro- Gopies of thispatent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing theCommissioner of ratents,

jects from the upper shank portion of the hook and is movable through aslot L formed in said bar. A spring X is mounted upon said pin and isinterposed between a collar thereon and the shank portion of the hook,said spring tending to hold the nose of the hook in contact with thepart of said bar which is fastened to the upper edge of the pole.

In the modified form shown in Figs. 4 and 5, A designates a pole havingan iron strap B bent upon itself, forming a loop C at its forward end. Ddesignates a bar which is bent at an angle as shown and fastened bybolts or other suitable means to the tip. Interposed between said bar Dand the pole tip is an inclined rod F about which is a coiled spring H.A hook, designated by letter K, is pivotally mounted upon the pin Ncarried by the bar D and said hook' is adapted to be held in contactwith the iron strap B by means of said spring which bears against theunder surface of one arm of the lever. Said lever, at its rear end, isforked as at O and is adapted to be guided in its tilting movements bysaid bar D.

What I claim to be new is:

A pole tip comprising, in combination with a pole, a bar bent to form aloop and secured to said pole, said bar bent at an angle and having aslot in a vertical portion thereof, a hook havingpivotal connection withsaid bar, a portion of the hook movable within said slot, a pinprojecting from said hook and movable through a slot in said bar, and aspring interposed between the latter and the shank of the hook, as setforth.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.

EDWARD VAITI-I.
